Vol 3 Chapter 962: Take playoff training

Tang Tian glanced at Davis, smiled and didn't speak.
Davis has been participating in the Brotherhood Training Camp for several years in a row, and he is naturally familiar with Walker.
And indeed, as he said, as a small player, the crazy output led the team to the next city without being optimistic. This scene is like Iverson in the 2001 finals.
But I'm afraid that it will be difficult to play together. The Pelicans have a stable lineup. They can maintain the championship strength for three or five years.
However, the future is unpredictable, and no one knows what will happen tomorrow.
The Pelicans and Thunder are about to play, and Stevens also reiterated the game plan in the locker room.
In the past two days, Tang Tian mentioned to Stevens his idea of ​​reducing the ball and letting his teammates adjust the state, and the two hit it off.
In the training sessions of the past two days, they are also training around this.
Fortunately, they were playing this way two years ago, and they adapted quickly.
And I can clearly feel that after the ball, the teammates are in better condition.
Especially Jokic, he can also take advantage of his organization, improve his self-confidence a lot, and the shooting rate in the whole match up.
These signs indicate that the decisions of Tang Tian and Stevens were correct.
That night, the game between the Pelicans and the Thunder opened at the New Orleans Arena, and the Pelicans ushered in the opening game of their playoff season.
The attendance rate in the stadium was full, and the fans held up the signs of "defending the title" and "second championship".
In recent years, the New Orleans football market has developed rapidly, and because Tang Tian's attitude towards fans is surprisingly good, fans have great loyalty to the team.
Even if it is only the first round of the opener, the enthusiasm of the fans is extremely high.
Before the game began, players from both sides entered the arena one after another.
The Pelicans looked relaxed, while the Thunder looked serious.
This seems to be consistent with the performance of both sides before the game.
The Pelicans' training before the game is open to the public, and the Thunder have been training in closed mode since New Orleans.
When warming up before the game, Westbrook did not greet Tang Tian like he did during the regular season.
It can be seen that although there is a gap in strength, the Thunder will not easily give up.
And the Hornets have just completed the following grams with the help of Walker, which has given them a great incentive.
The Hornets can do it, and they have the same chance.
After the opening ceremony, the starting players of the two teams appeared one after another.
The Pelicans are still the regular starting five, but the Thunder's lineup has been adjusted compared to the regular season.
At the fourth position, rookie Sabonis was replaced by a third-year junior Jeremy Grant who is better at defense.
There was no news before the game, it seems to be a special move of the Thunder coach Donovan.
The lineups of the two sides have changed, but the photographers at home are still as naughty as before, and they have given Tang Tian and Westbrook the split lens before the game.
Two main characters, two triple-double kings.
This kind of behavior dangled the emotions of the home fans, and the fans on the hotline also started a new round of true and false debate.
In the cheers of the fans, Adams returned the ball to the Thunder half, officially kicked off the playoffs.
Westbrook held the ball to the frontcourt and looked up to see that the defender was Tang Tian.
In the regular season, Tang Tian only defended in the fourth quarter, and in the first quarter of the playoffs, he defended. This change also reflects the difference between the playoffs and the regular season.
After returning to basketball at the beginning of the century, if the regular season is described as a head-to-head game, then the playoffs will really be naked.
Everything on both sides is exposed in front of the other side, without reservation, and will be put on the table without cover.
Westbrook did not attack, but gave the ball to Oladipo.
Oladipo changed his direction to break through Hollodi, broke into the interior and encountered a cooperative defense. He gave the ball to Grant, and Grant made a three-pointer miss.
Donovan replaced Grant Sabonis with Grant, and the Thunder's defense strengthened, but their weak outside threat also became weaker than before.
Fortunately, their defense was fast enough.
Donovan also yelled on the sideline to remind the defensive position. It seems that the Thunder team is preparing to fight against the Pelicans and fight defensively.
If you want to win the Pelicans, you have to make the most of your strengths, and this is perfectly fine.
Tang Tian held the ball to the frontcourt, but the next approach made Dono just side by side.
Tang Tian neither held the ball nor called the pick-and-roll, but directly gave the ball to Jokic in the high position.
This is different from what he expected ...
The Thunder team also had a kung fu sacrifice on the court, that is, Tang Tian cut into the inside, received a pass from Jokic and lay up to score.
The Pelicans came out on top.
"Follow it! Follow it!"
Donovan shouted from the sidelines after returning to God.
The Pelicans let Jokic hold the ball, but in the end Tang Tian ended. This is a hit!
He and his team were fooled!
The Thunder didn't defend the Pelicans' offense, and the defensive counterattack didn't play. They could only move to the frontcourt.
Oladipo continued to break the ball, this time he did not pass Grant, but pulled the layup by himself.
However, Davis' defense was in place, and his shot was disturbed and missed again.
The Thunder failed to score in the first two rounds!
Donovan's adjustment of this hand lineup does not seem to be very good. Grant did not have a range, but instead allowed the Pelicans to shrink the defense wantonly!
Jokic protected the defensive rebounds, and the Thunder continued to retreat quickly.
Tang Tian dribbled to the front court and continued to give the ball to Jokic.
Donovan's attention was all on Tang Tian, ​​and he was also on the sidelines shouting to let Robertson pay attention to Tang Tian's penetration.
However, at this moment, Davis suddenly cut into the basket, receiving a pass from Jokic's hands and scoring!
4 to 0!
The Pelicans started very differently from the regular season and ended up scoring twice!
Donovan frowned slightly on the sidelines and found that things were not so simple.
This is a complete change for the Pelicans!
His discovery was somewhat hindered ~ EbookFREE.me ~ not because he was not sensitive enough, but because it was too incredible.
Tang Tian averaged a triple-double this season, which he played with a high ball. Now the Pelicans suddenly changed their play in the playoffs!
I'm afraid no one will believe this!
This is tantamount to saying that the Pelicans suddenly abandoned them for a season!
But this is not reasonable!
The Pelicans are significantly stronger, so there is no need to take risks to do this!
Donovan didn't understand, but when the Pelicans came to the frontcourt, Jokic took the ball and he was convinced that his judgment was correct.
He even thought of a possibility.
It seems like the Pelicans ... are using them to practice tactics?
